Death is the sound of distant thunder at a picnic.
As long as your body is healthy and under control and death is distant, try to save your soul; when death is immanent what can you do?
Death and I are head to head in a total collision, pure and mutual distaste.
You think, eventually, that nothing can disturb you and that your nerves are impregnable. Yet, looking down at that familiar face, I realized that death is something to which we never become calloused.
Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Soldiers are citizens of death's grey land, drawing no dividend from time's tomorrows.
Death surrenders us totally to God: it makes us enter into him; we must, in return, surrender ourselves to death with absolute love and self-abandonment since, when death comes, all we can do is to surrender ourselves completely to the domination and guidance of God.
We've been hearing about the death of the novel ever since the day after Don Quixote was published.
Should I tell you one thing, I am blind from my right eye. I see only from my left eye. The one you see is someone else's eye which was donated to me after his death. If I close my left eye, I can see no one.

It is not death or pain that is to be dreaded, but the fear of pain or death.
My character and good name are in my own keeping. Life with disgrace is dreadful. A glorious death is to be envied.
I mean, the death in the late eighties and early nineties really shook out a lot of hacks. The pond just sort of dried up for a lot of really bad comedians.
I'm one of the slowest drivers on the road. I mosey along. If you're doing anything too fast, including living life too fast, that creates sudden death. If I have to be somewhere on time, I make sure I leave early enough.
To appear on the stage drunk, to have them leave there and remember me making drunken mistakes, that was death.
